So you are hurting in rib area? Left or right side? It could kidney infection, kidney stone if is in rib area. I would call doctor. And go in and leave them urine. Also could be just be baby pushing on stuff.

Is it pain or discomfort? I get like a numbness and pins/needles feelings in that general area. I was told it’s just baby being so big and putting pressure in that area. I’d say it’s uncomfortable but not painful for me, but if baby’s in a certain position it does tend to feel somewhat painful.

I would bring it up to your OB upper quadrant pain can mean a lot of things they might be able to figure out what it's from. RUQ is your gallbladder area. I have pain there sometimes due to my cholestasis but it could also mean other things such as a gallstone for some people.

We can speculate and give ideas but your provider will be able to triage it better and let you know what's going on and if theres anything you can do for it.
